Cracks in the mirror world were never meant to be permanent.
As Ji-hoon's blood touched the original mirror, a wave of fractures spread across every reflective surface.
Hands clawed out from the cracks. Voices from beyond screamed in hunger.
"Run!" Su-yeon pulled Ji-hoon's arm.
The house trembled violently. The ceiling splintered. Black fog flooded the village.
"Sera and Jin-ho," Ji-hoon whispered, silver energy swirling around him. "They're coming."
Two figures emerged from the fog—his mother's face twisted in blackness, Min-gyu's body gleaming like glass.
"The Shadow King is coming," Sera said through his mother's voice.
"The door is open," Jin-ho said through his father's lips. "All mirrors are now gateways."
Ji-hoon stared back, flames rising from his blackened right eye.
"You used my family," he said coldly. "But I'm whole now. No more division."
He hurled a sphere of silver energy—blasting them backward. The mirror world screamed.
The walls cracked wider. The ceilings collapsed.
Ji-hoon grabbed Su-yeon. "The main mirror," he gasped. "We have to destroy it."
They ran—glass shattering, mirrors bleeding darkness around them.
The basement waited. The original mirror pulsed red, ancient symbols glowing ominously.
The source.
But before they could strike—Jin-ho lunged from the shadows, monstrous, distorted.
Ji-hoon fought, every movement a battle against glass-hard flesh and mirror-born strength.
Meanwhile, Su-yeon fought the mirror itself—hands dragging her toward crimson oblivion.
